One palm tree grew 85 inches in 5 years and a queen palm tree grew 96 inches in 8 inches which tree grew faster explain

The queen palm tree

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you were saying years not inches but pretty much if you divide 85 divided by 5 you get 17 but if you divided 86 divided by 8 you get 12 so 12 is less than 17.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
